Pre-flop, you'd be correct. Post flop not so much. He could have hit a set on on the flop. If his pocket was suited, theres flushes, and always straight draws. Odds for those three get even better after the turn if your still sitting there on aces. There are times where throwing aces away is the correct move.
a) The nazis were stopped (primarily) by the Red Army. Until 1943 (after Stalingrad, Kursk) the other allies did not fight on european soil
If I recall correctly, The US and British were fighting Germany in North Africa, (before Normady/Invasion of Italy put us on european soil) not to mention bombing German factories and whatnot during the whole time. All of these before 1943.
c) How many times did you (or any other american) risk your live or emprisonment to defend or aquire these personal rights? They did in the (former) DDR, the Tchech Republic, Romenia, etc..
Fortunatly for me at age 21, I haven't had to risk my life to defend or aquire personal rights. My forefathers did that, and it became my job to protect the rights that they gave me. Just because *I* personally didn't risk my life to get them doesn't mean that I shouldn't have them, or that I shouldn't risk my life trying to defend them.
As for point d, I agree, we don't have a perfect track record. But who does? To become a country, you had to take the resourses/land away from someone (country/person/city/state/whatever) who previously occupied that space. And that's infringing upon the freedom of another nation. -- Bucket
It sounds like you want 3 inch square buttons with the candidates' names on them as a means of voting. The ballot was as clear as day to me.
If that's what it takes to not have clusterfucks like this one, by all means make them that big. And remember, just because it was clear as day to you and me doesn't mean that it was clear as day to everyone else.
Um... Have you seen the ballots there??? Ohio's ballot has all the candidiates for Pres on the left side of the page.. Each punchhole is separated by at least a row of punches.
When you are as old as some of these people are, would you like someone to tell you that you can't vote because you might screw up? 19,000+ people did this. One is a mistake, a couple of mistakes is coincidence, but this many mistakes just doesn't happen.
Actually, the AFC and NFC are divisions created when the AFL and NFL merged in 1969. The AFL was created in 1959 to form a league in competition with the NFL, not as a split from the NFL. Teams in the AFL became the AFC, and teams in the NFL became the NFC. (This is not always true today with expansion and realignment changing the division members.)
If you don't want the half-assed written crap, click that little button that says "Select individual packages" or whatever, and deselect them. You don't want wu-ftp? Don't install it. Don't want application xyz? Don't install it. If you don't want it to be insecure, don't be lazy, take the time to NOT install the insecure software packages. Its really easy, and only take ~5 mins to do it. That is exactly why redhat put the "Custom Install" option in their install program to begin with. When you do the "Workstation install", you get what they think you *might* want, even when you *might* not want it. It's not RedHat's fault that you are lazy when it comes to installs, so don't try to blame it on them.
A 2GB drive provides barely enough room to install the latest Redhat w/ a swap partition
I just put 6.2 on my machine last night. I put KDE and Gnome, and a 128M swap all in under 650M of space combined. I don't know what your problem is....
That's exactly what I've been telling my roomates. The olympics are about sending your best at every sport to compete against the best of the rest of the world. It's almost unfair to the rest of the other countries, because they know in the back of their minds that they beat our 2nd or 3rd best, and not our best. (Basketball comes to mind).
but a Metallica song I hear today is just not much different than the stuff they were churning out in 1985.
This right here makes me question your whole post. Their stuff now is nowhere near the same as what the old stuff is. Can you honestly tell me that RTL is the same as Reload?? As the other poster in this thread said, post this to alt.r-n-r.metallica and see what kind of response you get.
Same here. I was a lucky one who saw them when James fucked up his back, and got to see them again a second time for free.
$65 dollars works out to $13 dollars per band for the 5 bands there (summer sanitarium i'm presuming). And considering KR,Korn, and Metallica each played for an hour and a half or more, we definitely got our money's worth out of that tour.
How many people in alt.guitar write their own stuff and record it? If I could hear what they consider good guitar work, then by all means tell me where I can find it. Metallica's music may be easy to figure out or even play, but at the speed that they do it, and how well they put it all together, (especially in the older albums) makes them good musicians in my book. I quit reading alt.guitar because it was getting to the point where I was tired of tab requests and the like. Plus that I don't play guitar, but bass, it didn't appeal to me that much.
They are in all ways an inferior group of musicians.
Do you say this because of what they are trying to do to napster, or because you really believe it? If so, how in the hell does their stance on napster have anything to do with their musical ablitiy. Thats utter bullshit and you know it. If you've ever, EVER played a lick of guitar in your life, and try to play Metallica, you'd soon find out that this is simply not true. Not to mention trying to write the music in the first place.
Did you go to a Metallica concert this summer? I went to 2 of them, one with 50k plus people, and the other with 25k plus people. From what I saw, none of them are really giving a damn about the napster issue. And everyone I've talked to that was a fan before the napster issue has not up and decided to ditch Metallica. I don't think they're losing any fans, except from/. and many of them weren't fans to begin with.
That'd be exactly what they'd want. Everytime we stood up to go get a drink, some munchies, bathroom, turn off the TV or whatever, it'd flashy thing us, we'd then forget why we got up, sit back down to watch more tv. Hell, then we'd be sitting on our asses all day watching their ads, getting flashy thinged, watching their ads, getting flashy thinged........
Then they'd probably sue the first person to figure out how to make the sunglasses they use to keep themselves from getting their minds erased.

If you think you're smarter than a bear, let's put you up against one.
You seem to imply that you want him to go one on one with a bear physically. Of course it whould kick his ass, my ass, and your ass, and probably all three of us put together, because evolution has made the bear bigger, stronger, and tougher than humans. But put one of us in a situation that allows us to use our brains, and we can either escape or kill it. That's what evolution gave us. Instead of making us the biggest, toughest and strongest, it made us one of the smartest. I'd use my intellect to pick up a gun, (which was also created by human intellect) and blast away. Someone who is more knowing of how a bear thinks would probably use that intellect to move away from it and escape.
If your statement is also so true, how is it that in the human world the dumb people are reproducing like crazy yet the smarter people are not?? When it comes to humans, nothing about evolution has become natural or even applies anymore.
Just because a person is dumb relative to the standards that we hold up for them to achieve to doesn't make them less suitable for comparisons with other animals. I'd imagine that the dumbest human would still be able to out smart other animals in many ways. You aren't much of a fan of the Darwin Awards are you? Granted, some of those stories aren't true, but the ones that are definitly show you that people still find ways to clean out the gene pool once in a while. -- Bucket
Getting enormously rich from your mediocre talent plus a large promotion budget does, though. That's what Metallica did, and that's what they're trying to protect.
AFAIK, Metallica tried to get radio/MTV play, and up until "One" and the black album, they didn't get anything. To quote James from VH1 Behind the Music "Radio didn't want us, MTV didn't want us, so we said fuck em, we'll play live". If they'd have had that "large promotion budget" as you said they did, they wouldn't have had a problem getting on the radio.
He's refering to the change in sound that Metallica has undergone since the early 90's. Since then, Metallica's new songs don't sound like KEA,RTL,MOP,and AJFA songs. Coincedentially, the early 90's is where Metallica went big (sales wise). They seem to want to corelate the sales increase to selling out, and Metallica changing their sound to allow this to happen. However, they've been overlooking the fact that each album taken in chronological order has shown a good degree of change from the one's previous (with the exception of Load and Reload, which where written mostly at the same time), so it probably was just that the sound Metallica hit in the 90's was the sound people were looking for. People bitched "Sellouts" since "Fade To Black", but now that song is considered a fan favorite.
Do you realize that I-95 is subsidized on the order of _100%_ by the state and federal government? You don't pay tolls, do you?
Actually, we do. At least in Ohio. Even though it doesn't seem like it. It's called the gas tax. The money is collected by the govt. from us, and the government uses that money to pay for the construction/maintenance. Here in Ohio, the roads are fairly nice and get repaved often. Now go to indiana. You pay ~15 cents less in gas, but you drive on crappy roads (at least the highways i've been on). It's not a toll per se, but we do pay for the roads.
